Angels are my pick but I'll also keep the Dodgers in reserve in case the Angels stumble.
Angels have picked up some good talent in the off season, David Freese, Raul Ibanez, a couple of good pitchers, Albert Pujols is healthy along with Mike Trout and Jared Weaver, Erik Aybar is in great shape and the Angels have one of the deepest pitching staffs of the AL.
Unfortunately, they had to give up Mark Trumbo for those pitchers.
Gonna be an exciting season.
Angels roster this year. Lots of excellent talent.
